FOTT Trip

FOTT had a striking time this Sunday at Zone 28 for our final FOTT Trip of the program year! Members enjoyed some friendly competition, creative coloring, and a delicious applesauce bar. It was awesome to see everyone cheering each other on and showing what positive sportsmanship looks like. We’re already looking forward to rolling into more fun at FOTT Summer Late Nights—coming soon!

I-Volunteer June 2025

For I-Volunteer, Friendship Circle teamed up with the Squirrel Hill Urban Coalition, JCC Center for Loving Kindness, and the Church of the Redeemerfor an amazing night of giving back! Together, we rolled up our sleeves to trim hedges, pull weeds, and prune flower beds—giving new life to a beloved local community garden.

After all that teamwork and dirt under our nails, we celebrated with a well-earned snack in the shade and a whole lot of pride in what we accomplished! Big thanks to everyone who came out — it’s incredible what we can do together! #VolunteerNight #CommunityPower #GardenGlowUp

It’s actually the second to last Parsha in the Torah but we read Sukkot-themed readings throughout the holiday until Simchat Torah, which falls a week from Wednesday, on which we read the final Parsha and conclude the Torah. I’ll save my thoughts on… Read More

TwitterFacebookLinkedinPrintemailA WEEKLY TORAH THOUGHT BY RABBI MORDY This week’s Parsha, Vayeilech, brings us one week closer to the completion of the Torah. It also is the Parsha that always falls out around Yom Kippur (this coming Wednesday night and Thursday); often, it is read together with last week’s Parsha, Netzavim. There is something interesting in the names of both Parshas.… Read More
